Is This Right For Your Band?
Good Promotion Starts With The Right Questions.
Not every artist needs a full PR campaign right now. Sometimes the better first move is to clarify your release plan, strengthen your story or develop a more direct connection with fans.
You've got music ready to release
A clear single, EP or album schedule gives us something specific to plan and pitch.
You can share the essentials
Music, band biography, images, video and existing activity help us assess what is realistic. An EPK can help organise everything.
You're ready for a realistic conversation
Good PR is targeted work, not guaranteed coverage. We'll discuss fit, expectations and the next sensible step.
A useful starting point: If you're unsure whether you need PR, Meta Ads or a wider marketing plan, say so in your enquiry. You don't need to choose a service before contacting us.

Questions Musicians Ask
Music PR Submissions: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I submit my music to Stampede Press?
Visit our contact page and tell us about your band, your music and what you want to achieve. A listening link, release date and a little background will help us assess your project.
Do you work with unsigned and independent rock or metal bands?
Yes. Stampede Press works with independent rock and metal artists. The right approach depends on your music, goals, readiness and available budget—not simply whether you're signed to a label.
Can you guarantee reviews, interviews or press coverage?
No reputable publicist can guarantee independent editorial decisions. A PR campaign involves researching relevant outlets, preparing appropriate materials and making targeted approaches; editors decide whether to cover the music.
How early should I enquire before releasing a single, EP or album?
As early as you reasonably can. Lead times vary across publications and campaigns, and a longer runway gives more time for planning and pitching. Include your intended release date even if it isn't final.
What do I need to send a music publicist?
Start with a private or public listening link, a short artist biography, a few strong photos, key release information, your location and a clear contact. Relevant live videos, previous coverage and an EPK are helpful but don't need to hold up an initial enquiry.
Should I invest in PR, Meta Ads or email marketing?
They do different jobs. PR can build independent editorial visibility and credibility; Meta Ads can help you reach targeted audiences; email builds a direct route back to interested fans. The best next step depends on your campaign and the foundations already in place.
Is this a free review or record-label submission service?
No. This page is for artists enquiring about professional music PR, marketing and related support from Stampede Press. Submitting an enquiry doesn't guarantee coverage, feedback, a label deal or representation.
Does sending an enquiry commit me to paying for a campaign?
No. You can tell us about your project first, then discuss the suitability and scope of any proposed service before deciding whether to proceed.
